I can't see the FSF accepting this licence...
...as a true free source licence. And as such I doubt the CDDL will ever be as accepted as an open source licence by the people who drive the movement.

That isn't to say, however, that you can't enjoy some of the benefits open source code gives you. For instance, you can now port Solaris to any architecture you want, and you can make compilation optimizations and such. However you can't take Linux code to do that port, and you can't use GPL libraries to make hardware or software optimizations (so for instance any driver that is GPL can't be used), whereas with Linux you can.
